Gonna Start My Own Custom PC store

So, My Cousin and I are very passionate about building computers, mostly gaming computers even though we don't game... we like them because they are faster, have more space and memory, and run smoother as well as cooler than most computers.
So I am NOT promoting here, but our last name is phillips so i was thinking of buying the domain
phillipspc.com

and failed... so i decided. who the hell would buy that domain lol.

well you guys should visit .. actually ill just post a pic. but it is a one page site. has nothing saying what it does or anything. just a big picture.
was wondering if you guys thought this had anything to do with blackhat or some kinda IM?

UPDATE just recieved my first 5 /cases today. Was a little disappointed with one of them but im getting another one in return for it. so thats no big deal, also got 5 mother boards as wellMSI 790GX-G65 Motherboard - AMD 790GX, AM3 ATI Hybrid CrossFire, CrossFireX, PCIe 2.0, DDR3 Memory USB2.0, RAID, HDMI, DVI, VGA

motherboard type.
So, im waiting on the power supplies which should come later today with memory,
Hard drives will be in monday-ish, and
all drives and screens will be later on next week. so. anyone looking for a new pc

If it is just a website, your going to have a pretty tough time for IM. I would start by getting good posts in Craigslist. Try and find some PVAs in semi-remote areas such as citys in North Dakota or a similar state, as these people probably don't have regular access to places like Wal-Mart or Radio Shack.

Then I'd go with some off-line marketing, such as shipping your computers with company mouse pads & stickers & whatnot. I had a friend that was pretty successful in selling "tobacco" pipes through an affiliate program by putting up bumper stickers on the doors of public bathroom stalls. I'd try a similar approach with the latest PC game to capture the kid's attention & put your website name on the bottom. We figured he got around 10 customers a day from doing this at a mall.

Just think about where teenagers go, online or offline, and advertise wherever possible. I'd like to hear how successful the custom PC business can be today. I wanted to start one ever since I was a kid but by the time that I got old enough, the prices of brand name PCs dropped so much it just didn't seem profitable anymore.

right now im building the website, but im not gonna use it just yet. im doing local advertising on CL and tomorrow i have to go to the mall so im gonna have someone there print out some stickers and place them in random yet trafficked areas. with just a number... or maybe my email. idk. i have had 2 customers so far and it went well. i only profited 100 from each transaction. but still thats 200 bucks for me spending 500. so, it does well.

when i get my site up. i will surely do some online advertising b ut i want to be able to have that money first.
